In 1968, Max Bowman, his spouse, and an old friend came together and founded Star Equipment in Des Moines, Iowa. Over time, the company’s investment in its employees, dedication to its customers, and expert knowledge in the equipment it sells have earned the company a high reputation in the area. Now led by a new generation of family ownership in Bruce, Brad, and Brett Bowman, and spread out across Iowa and parts of Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota, Illinois, & Missouri, the company aspires to build on the success of the past by striving to be the area’s first choice when it comes to heavy equipment. The number one product of the company is Productivity. Whether it be achieved by employing the latest technology, ensuring the greatest possible uptime of your equipment, or having the knowledge to answer any and all questions that may arise, Star Equipment is in the business of keeping your fleet well run and operational.
